Copy Page to New Size

ProfileManagerPageResizingTabCopyPageToNewSize

Enable copy and scale each page onto this new page size inside the set margins

By default this setting is disabled. Enabling this setting means TIFF Image Printer will copy and scale each page onto your desired new page size.

The concept of image copying is similar to enlarging or shrinking a page using a photocopier, with the added ability to position the page on the new image using the scaling and alignment options.

Paper Size

Enter the desired Width and Height of the new page.

Use the Copy Paper Size button to copy the dimensions from our list of standard paper sizes.

Select Copy Paper Size to open the Copy Paper Size flyout.

Use the filter field to search and refine the list.

Click Apply Selected Form to copy selected paper size directly to Width and Height fields.

 

ProfileManagerPageResizingTabCopyPaperSize

 

Dimensions for Paper Size are entered based on a portrait oriented page. You can change the units by selecting Settings from the top right hand corner of the Profile Manager window, and toggling between inches (in) and centimeters (cm).

Printer Area Margins

Enter the desired Left, Right, Top and Bottom image area margin settings for the new image. The original page will be copied inside this area using the scaling options as selected.

The combined Left and Right margins must be less than the Width of the new page. The combined Top and Bottom margins must be less than the Height of the new page.

Dimensions for Printer Area Margins are entered based on a portrait oriented page. You can change the units by selecting Settings from the top right hand corner of the Profile Manager window, and toggling between inches (in) and centimeters (cm).

Page Orientation

Determines the page orientation of new page.

Keep printed orientation will maintain the original orientation of the page.

Force to portrait orientation will create only portrait oriented pages. Any content from pages that were originally landscape will be auto-rotated to best fit the new portrait page, unless auto-rotate page for best fit when needed is disabled.

Force to landscape orientation will create only landscape oriented pages. Any content from pages that were originally portrait will be auto-rotated to best fit the new landscape page, unless auto-rotate page for best fit when needed is disabled.

Page Scaling

By default page scaling is set to Fit to Page. Determines how the original page is placed on the new image.

Fit to Page will scale the original page to fit on the new image size chosen, scaling up to a larger image or down to a smaller one as needed. Pages will maintain their aspect ratio if the Maintain page aspect ratio is enabled.

Actual Size keeps the original information at the same size. Any part that does not fit on the new image size will be cut off. If Shrink page if larger than new page size is enabled, then you also have the choice of maintaining the aspect ratio. Actual Size is typically only required if your original document is a much smaller page size and you do not want the contents stretched to fit the new page size.

Shrink page if larger than new page size

Only available if page scaling is set to Actual Size. Scales the image down to fit the new page size if the original image is larger than the new page size.

Auto-rotate page for best fit when needed

By default this setting is enabled. Allows TIFF Image Printer to rotate page content when necessary in order to best fit the new page size. This is most relevant when forcing portrait orientation or forcing landscape orientation, and page content needs to be rotated in order to best fit the new page orientation.

Disabling this settings means that the original orientation of the content from the original document will be preserved on the new page. For example, if the original page was landscape orientated, and you are copying the content of that page onto a new portrait page, if this setting is disabled, the content from the original will be shrunk down to fit in an upright orientation on the new portrait page.

Maintain page aspect ratio

By default this setting is enabled. This settings is used to prevent distortion when scaling larger or smaller page to different page sizes. When this option is on, the height and width of the page change in relation to one another.

Horizontal alignment

Choose how to horizontally align the original page contents on the new page.

Left will align the left side of the page contents to the left side of the new page.

Middle will center the page contents in the horizontal middle of the new page.

Right will align the right side of the page contents to the right side of the new page.

Vertical alignment

Choose how to vertically align the original page contents on the new page.

Top will align the top of the page contents to the top of the new page.

Middle will center the page contents in the vertical middle of the new page.

Bottom will align the bottom of the page contents to the bottom of the new page.

Resample Page to New Size

ProfileManagerPageResizingTabResamplePage

Enable use resampling to set the new page size

By default this setting is disabled. Enabling this setting means TIFF Image Printer will scale the output file to a particular width and height in pixels, as a percentage of the original size, or by setting a new image resolution (DPI).

Maintain page aspect ratio when resampling

By default this setting is enabled. This settings means that Height will automatically be calculated to prevent distortion of the image. Disable this settings to enter a specific Height for your output file.

Pixels

Enter in the new file Width in pixels.

Percentage (%)

Enter in the new file Width as a percentage (%) of the original page size. You can scale images up to 500% larger, but note that if the image is very large to begin with, it may not scale successfully due to memory limitations.

Resolution (DPI)

Enter in the new X Resolution for your output file. You can scale as low as 50 DPI and up to as high as 3600 DPI.

Add Borders to Page

ProfileManagerPageResizingTabBorder

Enable add a custom border to the page

By default this setting is disabled. Enabling this setting means TIFF Image Printer will add a custom-colored margin around the page. This will shrink the page contents to fit inside the bordered area.

This setting is commonly used to create a white border in order to create space to add a watermark to the header or footer of a page if the page contents previously went right to the edge of the page.

Border Size

Enter the desired measurements of custom border for the Left, Top, Right, or Bottom of the page. If all four fields are zero then no border is added. You can change the units by selecting Settings from the top right hand corner of the Profile Manager window, and toggling between inches (in) and centimeters (cm).

Border Color

Enter the desired color of custom border. Either use the color picker, entering the hex color code, or entering the RGBA color code. Note that the A slider will allow you to adjust the transparency of the border color.
